December pick ups

[packs]

I'm really excited about it. I felt like it was one lot that slipped through the cracks. I'm not a cuts collector either but I felt confident in it since it's actually a trimmed down GPC.

Picked up this signed 1922 E120 American Caramel card of Joe Hauser. So far its my oldest signed card, hope to get a signed T206 someday.

Was looking to get that (whom a fellow board member owns with some other great signed cards), but I got this instead (from a different fellow board member).

I had a pretty quiet November and was planning the same for December when I found the following.
For my signed magazines with Yankees on the cover collection, I picked up this very nice Dave Righetti no-hit magazine signed by several including Righetti and Zimmer.
For my famous/infamous events collection, I picked a 1976 game 5 ALCS ticket signed by Chris Chambliss. This will be matted along with a signed photo of him hitting the walkoff series winning HR.
And the most important pickup (Thank You, Thank You Jim Stinson), a Complete Karl Wingler questionairre dated 1960 of 1919 White Sox player Eddie Murphy. Eddie was a clean sox and got up 3 times during the 1919 series. Did I mention Thank You, Thank You Jim Stinson?

I actually got that card signed. Back in about 1989 I was looking all over for one and that was the only one I had any luck getting. I really didn't want a trimmed one but beggars Cant be choosers. Joe was a great signer and always wrote a little letter with the autograph. Glad to see it's still around

I just picked up this team issued post card of Hall of Famer Dave Niehaus from 1983. The Mariners used to issue these for every player and coach for autograph requests and player appearances. According to the Earliest Collectibles of Baseball Hall of Famers thread, they list the earliest known Niehaus item was from 1995 so this pre-dates it by 12 years.

Around 12 years ago, a card shop that specialized in odd ball Seattle Mariners memorabilia showed me an example of this postcard (unsigned) and said that he had never seen one before in all his years of collecting. Since then this is the only other one I have seen (always in the market for Mariner postcards that I don't have). I wish that it was not personalized to James and by looking at it close I don’t see any way of removing the personalization.
